Questions about composite beams (Hyperlaminate)

Hi,

im working with carbon unidirectional tubes and i thinking to use these composites tubes as a beam ( 1D Element), but 1D elements only supports MAT1.

I can use the equivalent matrices of the composite sheel tube (2D) to simulate a 1D Beam? Someone can indicate tutorials or topics that talks about this approach, how can i use the equivalent matrices...?

I'm reading this PDF, but i don't know yet how exactly apply this in Hypermesh. (http://cdn.intechopen.com/pdfs/18866.pdf)

Best regards,
